	Our Mutual Friend: Clarendon Edition
		Our Mutual Friend (1864-5) was Dickens’s fourteenth and last completed novel, dark in its conception, panoramic in its observation of English society, and containing some of the novelist’s most powerful images — especially the river and dust-heaps.
		Our Mutual Friend covers some of the same terrain as Thackeray’s Vanity Fair, though it does so from a darker, more immediate perspective: whereas in Thackeray’s work the Napoleonic Wars form the backdrop to the action, in Dickens’s work the focus is the author’s own time.
		Part of the challenge of Our Mutual Friend is to give the imagination sufficient rein to embrace and transfigure this fictional world of chaos.

		Mutual means of each other, obviously all friends are mutual.
		What he meant to say was our common friend, the friend we have in common But in the genteel Victorian times that phrase already began to suggest that your friend was a little inferior to you, so we're stuck with solecism.

	Henry James's Review on Our Mutual Friend
		Our Mutual Friend is, to our perception, the poorest of Mr Dickens's works.

		It were, in our opinion, an offence against humanity to place Mr Dickens among the greatest novelists.

		Our Mutual Friend was the last complete novel Dickens wrote and, until the BBCtelevision adaptation was made in 1998, it has also been one of the more obscure.
		However the meaty bits of plot in Our Mutual Friend provide a delicious stew of adventure, intrigue, romance, violence and murder set amid the dust mounds and the fetid waterways of mid-nineteenth century London.
		Our Mutual Friend would have been a cracking thriller (with a bit of romance chucked in) if Dickens wasn't so profligate with his writing.

		There are at least half a dozen moments in Charles Dickens' Our Mutual Friend, the last book the great master was to complete before his death, when it becomes clear to the reader that he/she has left the London of nineteenth century earth for one deep inside the nightmare landscape of sleep.
		This is an angry, disturbing book (as all books by old men are), one that presents a vision of a great city coming apart at the seams and stuffed with sinners of all shapes and sizes.
		At a time when so many of our own great cities are on the verge of imploding, there is no one hundred year old novel more pertinent--or saddingly familiar.

		Our Mutual Friend centres on an inheritance – Old Harmon’s profitable dust heaps – and its legatees, young John Harmon, presumed drowned when a body is pulled out of the River Thames, and kindly dustman Mr Boffin, to whom the fortune defaults.
		With brilliant satire, Dickens portrays a dark, macabre London, inhabited by such disparate characters as Gaffer Hexam, scavenging the river for corpses; enchanting, mercenary Bella Wilfer; the social climbing Veneerings; and the unscrupulous street-trader Silas Wegg.
		Adrian Poole’s introduction examines biblical allusions and the central themes of Our Mutual Friend.

		Having received his literary friend with great cordiality, he conducted him to the interior of the Bower and there presented him to Mrs Boffin:--a stout lady of a rubicund and cheerful aspect, dressed (to Mr Wegg's consternation) in a low evening-dress of sable satin, and a large fl velvet hat and feathers.

		The multiple plots of Our Mutual Friend, Dickens's last complete novel, twine around the miser John Harmon's legacy of profitable heaps of refuse ("dust").
		The smaller plots that interweave these sensation/romance narratives comment on the hypocrisy of fashionable life ("Podsnappery") and the destruction of the family lives of both rich and poor by an industrialized, materialistic society.
		Beginning as it does with a waterman or "dredger" fishing at night for dead bodies (and their valuables) in a murky Thames, Our Mutual Friend's narrative energy is drawn from human materiality in its more troubling and fascinating forms.
